Mind flayers are a challenge... Unless your party contains a cleric. My mean mother-blanking servant of God can wipe them out without risking a scratch.
Here is how...
Keep the party in the next room. Turn off the AI, select your priest.
1) Make him invisible w/ ring, potion, or spell.
2) Have him walk up right next to one of those brain-sucking spasmoids.
3) Have him cast Blade Barrier.
4) Do nothing but watch. Repeat as needed.
Father Quisinart will get up to speed, and the first blood he draws will make the other illithis / Umber Hulks draw near, often into range of the blades. Wait, recast as needed, soon there will be nothing but dead baddies. It is best to pick a spot where many are grouped.
This works very well on many tough uglies, including Beholders. Sadly, the really big beholders can see invisible and will wreck your day. Non-detection helps, but it doesn't last long.
Hardly heroic, but hey, this ain't the Olympics. ( Apologies to Mr. Zalazny...)

May you seek what finds you.
